Hey Bawdy,

I believe the basis of a well formed keto or low carb diet is to have adequate protein. The minimum protein being somewhere around a gram per pound of lean body mass.

I am 6'3" and have figure my lean body mass around 160 pounds so I try to never go below that 160 grams of protein intake. Fat intake can be 118 to 276 grams depending on what I want to accomplish and carbs are under 40 grams.

If you are wanting to lose fat you need to lower fat intake because there is no better fat to burn than your own.
